The Federal Government has withdrawn its earlier decision to temporarily reduce speed limits on motorways and national highways, restoring the previous speed regulations for all categories of vehicles across the country.
The Government of Pakistan has officially reversed the temporary reduction in speed limits and reinstated the previously established speed thresholds on motorways and national highways.
The decision has come into immediate effect, allowing motorists to travel under the former speed regulations.
The spokesperson stated that cars and Light Transport Vehicles (LTVs) will once again be permitted to travel at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour on motorways.
Similarly, Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) and Heavy Transport Vehicles (HTVs) will be allowed to operate at speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour, in line with the earlier rules that were in place before the temporary restrictions were introduced.
In this regard, the authorities focused on that road safety remains a top priority. They urged drivers to continue exercising caution and strictly adhere to traffic laws and regulations while traveling on motorways and highways.
They reasserted that the restoration of speed limits should not be interpreted as a relaxation of safety standards, and enforcement measures will continue to be implemented to promote disciplined driving.
The Motorway Police also advised motorists to remain vigilant, maintain safe following distances, and avoid reckless driving behaviors that could endanger lives.
The decision to restore the previous speed limits reflects the government’s ongoing efforts to balance transportation efficiency with public safety on Pakistan’s road network.
